Basics About the 2022 Chevy Equinox

Family vehicles need a wide array of capabilities to ensure that they can meet the needs of each family. Considerations such as size, storage, and utility all play a role as families decide on their ideal vehicle. Unfortunately, many vehicles are quite lacking in these features, making the choice difficult. That’s why the team at Park Hills Chevrolet is happy to announce that the 2022 Chevy Equinox is now available. Here is our guide to this new and exciting vehicle.

The Chevy Equinox is a front-wheel drive compact crossover SUV that has gained popularity due to its respectable performance, spacious design, and variety of appealing appearance options. Capable of seating up to five occupants, the vehicle has more than enough space for most families.

Performance

For 2022, Chevrolet has forgone the previous Equinox model’s optional 2-liter 4-cylinder engine, in favor of standardizing the previous year’s 170-horsepower 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine across all 2022 Equinox trims. The engine is paired with an automatic 6-speed transmission and is capable of generating up to 203 pound-feet of torque, enabling the vehicle to go from 0 to 60 in roughly 8.9 seconds.
The vehicle also boasts a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds and a fuel efficiency of rating of 26 city miles per gallon and 31 highway miles per gallon. These advantages enable the 2022 Equinox to transport equipment, vehicles, and other items over long distances without spending excessive amounts of money on gas-related expenses.

Safety

Another key aspect of the Equinox is its array of safety features, many of which come standard across all models. The standard features include automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection and lane-keeping assist with lane-departure warning. Optional safety features include the implementation of driver assistance technology and adaptive cruise control.

New/Unique Features

For 2022, the Equinox has mostly enjoyed changes to its aesthetic options. The vehicle has a new front and rear design. The new appearance features changes such as a bumper redesign, revamped headlights, and more. There have also been some changes to the vehicle’s trim options.

Newly introduced in the 2022 model, the RS trim gives the Equinox a more sporty appearance with black exterior trim and interior upholstery, a unique shift knob, and red stitching, while the previous year’s Premier trim has been updated to include French stitching and gloss black trim in its interior.
Without a doubt, the 2022 Equinox remains an appealing vehicle for families with a wide array of needs due to its flexibility and utility. With appealing performance features, towing capabilities, safety components, and revamped design options, Chevrolet has taken great strides to move the Equinox family into uncharted territory. Schedule a test drive at Park Hills Chevrolet to experience the new Chevy Equinox for yourself!
